Just So You Know ...

--I am finished with my shopping!!!!!!! (A special thanks to the biggest Wal-Mart I have ever visited that is located two counties away.)

--I have rearranged the gifts as I usually do when we are ten days away from Christmas. Each family has their own tree. Christmas morning gifts are in the Family Room. My family's gifts are in the dining room. Patrick's family's gifts are in the Living Room. You Fuller's, Derrick's, Altman's and Fish's who read this should feel really special.

--I am finishing wrapping the gifts now. The girls and Paul are assisting take the gifts to the correct location. (OK, I just checked behind them. Only 2 of the last 6 were in the right place. I do appreciate their help. I really do.)

--The children are feeling better. Now the Mommy doesn't feel so great. Yes, I do have a doctor appointment. Thanks for asking.

--This morning I ate a pear from Harry and David for breakfast. Every year we receive a gift basket from them as a gift from someone special. And, sweet mercy those pears are good, delicious, juicy, tasty, all that. And some more. I ran out of adjectives suitable for pears. I look forward to the pears all year.

--Paul's new favorite thing to do is to drag the gift bags all over the house. He wants to see how far he can get from the tree before I will notice. Then, when he sees me, he drops it and walks as fast as he can in the other direction. I pray he's not practicing for a future of shoplifting! So, if you receive a gift from the Fuller's that is in a gift bag you can be guaranteed that Paul disassembled it before you!!

--This is the funniest thing any of my bloggy friends have written in awhile: The TCM blog You have to read it.

--Daddy lost his cell phone last week. Again. So, I called the lady in South Asia to change the equipment on his number. This is thanks to the unintended third phone that we have. When someone loses their phone, we just switch. Then we find the missing phone, we have an extra. This is really a great plan. The only problem is that now the phones are exactly backwards as originally intended. His is red. Merry Christmas. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Fourth of July. Mine is silver. BORING.

Happy Monday!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
